Designer

Arne Norell was a Swedish furniture designer. He started his own workshop in Solna, just outside Stockholm, in 1954. Norell was versatile and successfully utilised various material combinations such as turned wood, bentwood, support leather, fabric, leather, and metal. Many of his models only began production after his death. Norell was inspired by Danish design, which is evident in his lounge chair "Ari". The chair was awarded "Showpiece of the year" in 1973 by the British Furniture Manufacturer. "Sirocco" is another well-known piece of furniture signed by Norell.
